The Shocking Reshuffle: Bonang ‘Heartbroken’ By Her Metro FM Departure

Bonang Matheba on Monday announced her departure from Metro FM after a three year run on the station. And it’s all because she found out merely hours before going live that she will now be co-hosting the show with Lerato Kganyago.

“I am heart broken”, the 29 year old media darling tweeted emotionally, and revealed to her million and half followers that she has decided to part ways with her popular mid morning show The Front Row.

….my heart is broken. I was told about the changes to my show an hour before going on air today…

Not one to burn her bridges, Matheba also added that she will definitely be missing her Metro FM family, adding that she will be looking forward to the next chapter of her radio career.

Bonang’s sudden exit may have been quite a shock to many of her listeners, many who enjoy her #AskAMan segment on the show, but she follows on the footsteps of Nathi Msengana and Glen Lewis, who both recently bid farewell to the station.

Not all is lost though, as Metro FM has welcomed amongst others DJ Fresh and Masechaba Ndlovu as the SABC radio station shuffles continue.
